    Pros Generous portions Courteous staff Location easy to find Cons Door was still locked 12m after opening Wait time What I got Musahub meal. I wanted the towouk but they had just opened and said it was a 15m wait. I ended waiting the same amount of time maybe more for my meal bc there were lots of people working the kitchen and grill but only 1 person working the register and preparing the orders. Overall i was very full and honestly this meal can be shared for 2 people. A bit pricey but I think cheaper isnt always better. Nice atmosphere. Very clean. Helpful toward customers. Imo the chicken lacked flavor it was ok but not memorable. I expected more flavor and more char. I wouldnt go out of my way like I did this morning to drive there. But If im in the area again Id give it another try. Do not recommend going when they first open. Garlic sauce was solid and the pink sauce was ok. I did not try the spicy sauce. Mango drink was cool. Fries were fries :) 7/10

    The food was incredible and so was the service but it took a minute to prepare. Also the music was so loud I couldn't hear myself think, so it's not a place I would return to for a casual lunch. However, I work locally and would continue to recommend this place to my friends and support the community.

    There was so much hype in this place, so we had to go and check it out ourselves. We waited more than an hour to order food. The line to place order was literally out of the restaurant. They have few good tables, but since they're packed, good luck on grabbing a table (first come first grab.) When we finally were able to order, I ordered the spicy chicken wrap and fires were stale. I waited another 1/2 hour to get my food. The wrap tasted ok, but the fires tasted stale. I keep hearing that the line is so long because the food is made to order. Well, my fries did not taste fresh. It was just stale fries. For me, it is not worth for me to go back with the long lines to order and get my food, especially when the good is just "ok."

    This place has some delicious food. You place your order at the counter and they cook the food right in front of you. It did take about 10 minutes for the food to be prepared/cooked, buts it's definitely worth the wait. At Farooj Abo Al Abed, nothing is pre-cooked, reheated, or microwaved. Every protein starts raw, fresh, and goes straight to the charcoal. That means your order may take a little longer--but that's the secret behind the flavor. Think of it like your own backyard BBQ , except @aboalabed.ohio does the grilling, the flipping, the seasoning , and the saucing!!! Trust me..... This stuff is DELICIOUS . Pro foodie tip: Ask for one of each of their sauces. They are very unique and incredibly delicious. When you stop by, don't forget to tell them: recommended by @ohiofoodie614.

    This is the first USA location for what is supposedly a Middle Eastern hotspot (they have 66 locations in several countries). They are so popular that even without a Google profile and barely a webpage, their lines are out of the door. We ourselves waited 90 minutes (dumb, I know, but FOMO) to just order our food (which did arrive within 15 minutes of ordering). The restaurant is very new and they are still working out their kinks, so give them time and bring a lot of patience if you are going there soon-ish. That said, my signature spicy chicken wrap was fresh, however the fries were stale. They have some unique drinks (similar to those at Al-Manakeesh), and some appetizers that I am unfamiliar with, but want to try the next time I go there.

    Tried their signature chicken which is grilled chicken in a thin pita like wrap. You can see them grilling the chicken kebab style and the meat is tender and smoky. Even though there is chicken in every bite, I feel the price is steep for a chicken wrap.

    We had an absolutely amazing experience at this new Lebanese/Middle Eastern restaurant! The service was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the food was outstanding from start to finish. The pink sauce deserves its own shoutout -- truly exceptional. They were kind enough to let us sample a lamb shoulder that wasn't even on the menu, and my husband said it was the best lamb he's ever had. The chicken tawook meal was perfectly cooked and full of flavor, and the eggplant appetizer was insanely good. Even the little details impressed us -- the French fries were delicious and the mango juice was amazing and refreshing. Clean inside, no issues at all. You can tell they care about quality and customer experience. We will definitely be back and highly recommend giving this place a try!

    I went their for lunch it was not too busy at that time. But it took a long time to get my food. The service was great though. They manager gave me a few extra items for my wait. The sandwich is a decent size it tastes really good. I will say I was intrigued by the pink sauce. Because of its color I thought it would taste a little sweet, but it is more on the savory side. Even though it was good i feel like it's overpriced. The restaurant has plenty of seating and there's plenty of parking outside.

    COMPLETELY OBSESSED! We've ordered from Farooj twice and both times it was amazing! My husband almost cried the kababs were so good! The portions were great and we absolutely loved the mini bucket with lemon garlic sauce! I have been telling all my friends to check it out! The service is always spectacular at this restaurant and despite being busy they were quick and efficient!

    Kylea W.

    Amazing! The taste was great. The staff was even better. I highly recommend the meat kebab meal & hummus! Will be coming back (:

    Chicken Kabab
    Tara S.

    Went with some friends the other day. The place was brightly lit and very clean. We ordered at the counter and I got a chicken kabab meal with fries and a drink. For a some up charge you can get lemonade and other special drinks which some of my friends did and love it. We found a seat and only had a short wait for our food. I was impressed with the portions and the huge amount of fries! The food was absolutely delicious- fresh -and full of flavor! You can tell the owners take a great deal of pride in the place and came around to check in on us and even offered us free tabbouleh, which was the not only do kind but also delicious. I thought the price was super reasonable and like I mentioned great portions. I highly recommend everyone check it out!

    So delicious! The staff was so welcoming and kind, and the food was amazing. We shared a lot of plates between a group and it was perfect

It's a beautiful restaurant that sits along the river and has some beautiful views - especially on a gorgeous spring/summer evening! Their food is top notch as well! I've dined in several times in the past, but decided to get takeaway and take it to the pavilion by the pedestrian bridge to people watch and have a nice after dinner walk. Food to go was just as good as dining in - at least for the Chicken Kebab. Made with white meat chicken, you get 5-6 large pieces with rice and veggies. I was excited to learn they had rice pudding to go as well because theirs is quite good! I ordered over the phone, had about a 25 min wait on a busy evening. All were friendly and ensuring I was being helped.

We were seated at the window with a view of the water. Our server was attentive and patient with us as we were catching up on our holiday stories. We both had the chicken wrap, which was really tasty. I opted out of fries with my meal and got the rice. It was a good choice. The bread and tomato oil were really good. I was trying not to have bread before my meal but couldn't resist. They have a full bar which we didn't have a drink and they have which appeared to be three large dining areas.

Not super convenient handicap parking spots but there are normal spots that are closer. There wasn't anyone there to greet us after we dropped off my in-laws but they had a table already so it was easy to find. Space is medium sized with plenty of booths. Quality of the food was really good and the portions were very generous. Everything was well seasoned and meat was very flavorful and moist. Usually kebabs are hit or miss when it comes to flavor and moisture of the meat, commonly getting too dry, but this was coked beautifully. Definitely recommend trying this place out if you're in the area!
